OK - here's a head scratcher! Sherlock Holmes is probably one of the most famous pipe smokers - real or fictional. Iconic illustrations persist in portraying him smoking a calabash pipe. But the novels and short stories only mention 3 kinds of pipes smoked by Holmes, none of them a calabash. Can you name them?

[Stitchawl]

Half-bent billiard
Meerschaum bent billiard
Bent Bulldog
Clay Churchwarden?

Bong?
